When the Prophet Delayed People from Converting to Islam

Another astonishing event was shown by the Prophet at the time of the conquest of the city of Mecca. The Holy City is ruled by Muslims. Opponents of war really do not move. However, the Prophet Muhammad did have his own ways of dealing with his former enemies.

There is no blood dripping in or around the Grand Mosque. The destruction of the idol statues around the Kaaba was carried out at the request of the people of Mecca. From the start, the Prophet warned against various forms of violence and destruction because the enemy was no longer attacking.

The anti-coercion attitude actually led the Fathul Makkah incident to an increasingly glorious victory. The Quraysh Muslims flocked to Islam, especially after their supreme leader, Abu Sofyan and his family voluntarily recited the two sentences of the creed.

However, the awareness of monotheism does not always take place immediately. A Quraysh commander named Shofwan bin Umayyah had decided to convert to Islam but failed. It took him some time to make up his mind.

"Give me a week to think about whether I should convert to Islam or not," Shofwan told the Prophet.

"Not for a week," said the Prophet.

Shofwan was shocked and asked, “Is it too long?”

"No," the Prophet replied, "Too short. I'll give you two months. Whether to say the shahada or not. Think carefully because Islam is a religion for intelligent people and use their minds to think. There is no religion for people who have no sense." (Mahbib)
